mozzarella sticks?

Question

Anyone know how to make home made mozzarella sticks.

Answer 1

Mozzarella Milananese (Cheese Sticks)
Yield: 8 Servings

Ingredients

1 lb packaged mozzarella
2 eggs; beaten
1/2 c flour
1 c flavored bread crumbs
1 vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Slice the mozzarella into flat wedges (it's easier to fry this way). Set
up 3 bowls, one with flour, one with egg, one with the bread crumbs. Coat
each piece of cheese first with flour, then egg, then bread crumbs, then
throw immediately into the hot oil to fry (the coating doesn't turn out as
well if you let it sit around inside its coating). Fry for a minute or two
on each side until coating is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.

Note: The difficult part of this is keeping the cheese from escaping the
coating while it's frying. For best results, don't let the oil get too hot
while frying, and try to keep the oil level at about 1/4 inch deep at all
times during the process (i.e., do not deep fry).

Answer 2

Fried Mozarella Sticks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground white pepper
1 cup beer
4 cups safflower oil
1 egg white
1 pound mozzarella cheese sticks

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and white pepper. Gradually pour in beer. Whisk briskly. Cover and allow the mixture to stand 90 minutes. In a large, deep skillet, heat safflower oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Whip the egg white into the batter. Dip mozzarella cheese sticks into the batter. With a slotted metal spoon, place coated cheese sticks a few at a time into the hot oil. Fry 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Answer 3

Ingredients: Flour Eggs Seasoned Breadcrumbs Mozzarella Cheese Oil Tomato Sauce (optional) A discussion of the Cheese: There are two kinds of mozzarella to consider for our purposes. There is fresh mozzarella, which is quite wet and soft, and is and there is low-moisture mozzarella, which is much drier and somewhat harder. You want to use fresh mozzarella - it tastes much better. However, it is more expensive and might be a little harder to find. In a pinch, you can use low-moisture mozzarella, but you may have to dip the cheese sticks in milk first since it is a drier cheese, and it won't taste as good. To serve appetizers for five or six people, use half a pound. To make the sticks as a light meal for five or six people or as an appetizer for ten or eleven, use the whole pound. A discussion of Options: If you want, you can add things to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor in the coating. I add some crushed red pepper. The tomato sauce is, of course, for dipping, but these mozzarella sticks are definitely tasty enough to stand on their own. Preparation: Cut the cheese into slices one half to three quarters of an inch thick. Cut the slices into sticks. Pour a few spoonfuls of flour into a plastic bag, followed by the cheese sticks. Shake the bag thoroughly, coating all the sticks. Break two eggs into a small bowl, whipping them lightly with a fork. Pour breadcrumbs into another small bowl. Take cheese sticks from the bag, cover them thoroughly with the egg, and then with the breadcrumbs. Coat the breaded cheese again with egg and another coating of breadcrumbs. You want to make sure the cheese is entirely coated - if there are any spots on the cheese stick that look light, put a little egg on the spot and then some more breadcrumbs. It is nice to have someone else help you with this - one person manning the egg bowl, the other person using the breadcrumbs bowl. By doing this no one will be sticking egg-coated fingers into the bowl of breadcrumbs, avoiding some of the mess and waste. You will have to refill the bowls with more eggs and breadcrumbs from time to time. The egg bowl might develop a "sludge" of egg, excess flour, and breadcrumbs which will just get in your way and should be removed. When all your cheese sticks have a nice double coating of breadcrumbs, you are finished. Cooking: These have to be fried. A dedicated deep fryer helps greatly here, but they can also be fried in a few inches of oil in a pot or pan over a stove. Make sure you know how to fry safely. The oil should be quite hot - if you have a deep fryer turn the thermostat up all the way. The entire batch of sticks should be put into the oil at the same time, or as close as possible. Again, a deep fryer with a basket helps here. Since these cook quickly, if sticks are added thirty seconds apart, they will be finished thirty seconds apart, which isn't good. They will be done cooking in two or three minutes. Watch for cheese bubbling out of the breadcrumb coating. As soon as any appreciable amount of cheese is showing, bring the sticks out of the oil. Wait too long and you will lose the cheese, getting only an empty shell. This is why they all have to be added at the same time. Drain on a plate with paper towels. Wait a few minutes to let the oil heat up again before making the next batch. If the oil isn't hot enough, you will start losing your cheese before the coating is properly cooked. Serving: These should be eaten, with hot tomato sauce for dipping, as quickly as possible, while the cheese is still deliciously hot and stringy. If you have extra, you should keep them uncooked and refrigerated for later frying, rather than fry them and then try to save them.

Answer 4

Mozzarella Sticks

1 1/2 cups Italian-style dried breadcrumbs
1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon salt
2 (16-ounce) blocks pasteurized mozzarella cut into 4 by 1/2-inch sticks
4 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 cups Marinara Sauce, recipe follows

Stir the bread crumbs, 1 cup of Parmesan and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl to blend. Dip the cheese in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the cheese in the bread crumb mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the cheese sticks on a baking sheet. Repeat dipping the cheese sticks in the egg and bread crumb mixture to coat a second time. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 2 hours and up to 2 days.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the cheese until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the fried cheese to plates. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve with the Marinara Sauce.

Marinara Sauce:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 (32 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves

In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper, to taste. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)

Answer 5

Yep. Go and buy some "string cheese" at the store, open each package and cut the piece in half. Roll in flour and then into egg, and then into seasoned bread crumbs. Deep fry them for just about 1-2 mins. Then drain them on a paper towel. We make these all the time. They are really yummy! If you want low carb, just sub the flour and bread crumbs with finely ground pork rinds, Iknow this sounds weird, but it is wonderful, and nocarbs! I hope this is what you were looking for. :)

Answer 6

Said & Done is right. Giada had a recipe on Food TV, where the mixture was refrigerated before frying -- or everything can ooze out. Good luck.
